Build Low-Volume Parts & Prototype Injection Molded Parts with Formlabs Fuse 1+ SLS 3D Printer
Understanding and Operating the Formlabs Fuse SLS 3D Printer
In this comprehensive tutorial, we walk you through a detailed operation of the Formlabs Fuse SLS 3D Printer. We explain how to bring in 3D models, orient and set them, as well as the process behind slicing jobs, loading material, pre-heating the machine, and finally printing layers. Addressing interesting features of the printer, such as recycling unused material, the intricacies of creating complex shapes, and the advantages of this printer for low-volume production, we aim to provide a clear understanding of the device's functionalities. We also cover the cool down process, extraction of the created parts, and post-production cleaning methods, followed by a small discussion on material choice & part durability, concluding with some key takeaways about using this printer.

Great content. We're thinking about adding one to our lineup. What has been your experience with smaller parts / high density in the build chamber?

Please register for this webinar event tomorrow, I saw a preview and it addresses this exact question in a very compelling way! Even if you can't make the time we will email you a link to the recording. www.mlc-cad.com/events/one-machine-one-day-hundreds-of-parts-making-the-most-of-an-sls-3d-printer/

The Fuse system, especially when you add the Sift and Blast units, are ideal for large volumes of small parts! The build chamber can be removed for external cooling, the unfused powder can be reused, and the blast tumbler makes post processing so simple.

@@MLCCADSystems right now we've been looking between the Fuse and Lisa ecosystems. I've been deep-diving information and videos to compare and contrast. Its not our first foray into 3D printing, but SLS is new.

If we can answer any specific questions let us know, SLS is definitely an impressive technology. Thank you for reaching out!

Here is the SLS webinar if you didn't get a chance to catch it already. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g511ppmuZsqpcdo.html The Fuse system allows for cooling and powder recovery outside the machine, which means you can keep the printer running nearly non-stop without worrying about the cool down period. It also automates clean-up with the blast cabinet that rotates parts and de-ionizes them for a powder-free finish without requiring the operator to touch every part. Good luck in your search!
